PREACH PAPERS. PLORENCB,OCT. 13:.--The regiment Latotir d'Au- Vergne, consisting mostly of Germans, entered this City yesterday from Naples, and was reviewed by her Imperial Highness the Archduchess. This princess was on horseback, and had her little daugh ta?, the Princess Napoleone, on her right hand, and, 4 tcompanied by her husband, Prince Felix, rode through the several ranks of the regident. Au hu t/tense number of spectators were present. highness an order of the day, dated the 28th inst. his highness the Prince of Neufchatel and Vagrant, has ordered all General Officers, and others belong lug to the army of Germany, who do not hold letters. of service, should repair to Strasburg, and quit Vi enna and its suburbs on the 31 st of the same month kt the ,latest. The School for Prejudice was represented last tight at Covent-Garden Theatre, and three a&s 'ere heard with tolerable order. A disposition then Prevailed in the Pit to revive the interruption, but the opposition, on the whole, was feeble, corn= bared with the row on Monday night. We did not tlotice 0. P. displayed • itf any part of the house; Placards were also concealed from public view.— The Pit was thinly attended, and the advocates of °Pposition exerted their lungs to little effeet ; yet the noise was sufficient to confuse the last act of the Play, and the music in Dort Jlean. We are sorry to find a strong disposition manifested by a few to ex- Press personal insult towards the Performers, by a ylockery of their speeches. After an attempt to sinS -` . God save the King," and a few groans, the 0. P.'s dispersed. Two Societies have been formed at Liverpool, one for the purpose of discouraging wanton cruelty to brute animals ; and one for the establishment of a Magdalen Asylum—the want of which has been L tng lamented by the nsost considerate part of that Populous community. A few evenings since, the Bristol coach was over turntd on Hounslow Heath, with twelve passen %Pr's, who very fortunately sustained no material in- ep.eliqsli PIPERS. • tavir,LE, Nov. tl...According to the latest ad vices from our Army of the Centre, the head-quar ters were at Eierincia, and the advanced guard near Aranjtiez. The accounts from Madrid confirm the impatience and enthusiasm with which than loyal city waits its deliverers, in order to take every possi- ble part in the expulsion of the enemy. Gerona continues to defend itself. Generals ST. CYR and VERD:ER have been recalled to Paris, to give an ac count of the attack on Gerona, on the Igth which was so glorious to the patriotic arms. SEVILLE, Nov. 15.—We are assured that our Army of the Centre does not advance a step without fighting : its head quarters are at Dos Barrias. Since the 9th there have been several partial affairs, in which, our amy have had 'the advantage. The de tails are not yet known. The Patriots have made a second sortie ; they engng,:d the enemy, and, at the expence of some lives, the city has been re lieved. VALENCIA, Nov. 3.—Some ships from the Eng lish squadron are constantly cruizing between 'Barce lona and Escala ; and the 'cordon of Llobregat, pre vents the entrance of any provisions into that place, which is now reduced to the greatest distress.

SEVILLE, Nov. 14.—Our cavalry continhes to cover itself with glory. The enemy's horSe, pur sued as far as Odaua, endeavoured to take post be tween that place and Guardia, but they were' speedi ly dislodged, with the loss of 250 killed, although our troops did not obtain victory at a cheap rate. The head-quarters have been removed from Temb lique to Barrios ; the army is pushing forward with out any delay, and the cavalry hangs continually on the rear of the French. SEVILLE, NOV. 13.—Lieutenant-General Don Manuel Frere, General in Chief of the Cavalry of the Army of La Mancha, has written, under date of the 6th instant, the following dispatch to the Ge neral in Chief : " Six o'clock in theevening.—l have just alighted 1 in Madreligas, after pursuing the enemy, who has retreated from Mora, as he has also done from Con suegra and Camienas, so that the cavalry is station ed in the towns assigned to it, excepting that the re giments which were to have remained at Wide, have advanced to - Consuegra ; the whole day has been one continued attack, from Punto Lascia to two leagues beyond that town. The force opposed to us at the three different points I estimate at from 2600 to 3000 cavalry ; the enemy has cavalry at Tern bleque and La Guardia; to-morrow we shall see if they will share the same fate as these ; the troops have displayed the greatest valour. We have had both killed and wounded, but I cannot yet intotm your Excellency of the particulars. - -Here follows a detailed account of a battle fought on the Bth of November, in the vicinity of La Guardia, by the troops under General Frere, which terminated in the defeat of the enemy.

Our head-quarters must have arrived at Aranjeuz the Frerch in Old Castile endeavoured : to draw the Duke del Parque into the plains. SEVILLE, Nov. 1 t.—The agreeable scenes of the 25th and 26th of last July have beets repeated in Madrid: The French have all fallen back upon the Retiro, and the degenerate Spaniards have put them selves under their protedion. Infatuated wretches ! there cannot be a clearer proof of the proximity of our army to the capital, and of the state of the ene my's force. The people of Madrid with uplifted arms, and our armies supplied with every necessary, marching without intermission towards the enemy, overcoming every obstacle, what a glorious prospe& ! We have just loarnt that the patriotic troops, to the number of 14,000 infantry and 4000 cavalry, have entered Aranjuez.—(Diary, Nov. 13.) SEVILLE, Nov. 12.—The convoy, consisting of 60 ships, which sailed from Toulon, and, according to some, carried provisions for Barcelona, or, ac cording to others, troops to reinforce the army,be sieging Gerona, has been destroyed by thalEnitish. All the letters we hare received item the eastern ••• . • . - - c 3 $t of Catalonia state this iniP - orinit intelligence dbAerving, that the shores of Josa, *Ca dai ues , and PJlatnas, &c. are covered with wrecks of shipS, and a considerable number of dead bodies which the sea had i brown up. They write from Tarragoni, under date of the Ist instant, that the English squadron Was in pur suit of the French ; and on the 2d instant, that they had already engaged, the result of which wai. the burning of six. French ships. We expect the details. SEVILLE, Nov.•ls.—Don Rosendo Porlier, COM mander.of his Majesty's frigate called Nuestra Senora de Aotcha, has reported to his Excellency Don An tonio de Escano, from Tarragona, under date of the bth instant, that the Captain of the English brig of war Alacrity, informed .him, that a division of three sail of the line, and two frigates, having sailed from Toulon on the 20th of Odober, convoying 20 tran sports bound for the coast of Catalonia, it was at tacked by Rear-Admiral Mattin on the otf Cette, who pursued it with the seven ships under his orders, the result of which was, that three of the enemy's ships were driven on shore, two burnt, and the other rendered perfedly - unfit for service.— Afterwards several ships of Admiral Colliagwoud's fleet attacked the enemy off Cape Crouse, took five of the line, sunk four, and the remainder tool: shel ter in the Bay of Rosas, where four more were burnt, and five taken ; so that the final result of these operations was, that. one frigate only, and two transports, out of 20, escaped being - tal.en by the English.---(Government Gazette of Nov. 16.) Yesterday morning were buried at Fulham, the remains of Sir PHILIP STEPHENS, Bart. aged 88.— He has left the whole of his property and estates, in Middlesex, Norfolk, Suffolk, and Essex, to Lord Viscount RANELAGH. The following atie6ling account of the disastrous effects of the late storm among the shipping in the neighbourhood of the Tees is contained in a letter from a person who was an eye-witness of the dis tressing scene:—" On Friday, the tsth instant, a fleet of Colliers got out of Shields; the day fol lowing, the wind coming on to blow a heavy gale at E. N. E. about twenty sail wire caught clOse in with the land, near Hartlepool, and were under the necessity of running tOr the Tees. The first ship struck on a sand near the mouth of the river, and falling into deep water, went to the bottom, and all on board perished. The second vessel ran upon the beach, as did also the fourth, and held together till the life-boat, which was drawn along the beach from Redcar by horses, arrived to the rescue of the crews, who were all brought safe to shore, though nearly exhausted with cold and fatigue, having been cling ing to the rigging upwards of four hours. The third vessel struck upon a shoal, and almost immediately afterwards went to pieces, thus consigning the whole of the crew to a watery grave. One of the ships struck upon the bar, and had four of her people washed overboard. Several of the vessels had two or three of their people thrown out by the violence of the sea. Eighteen sail got into the Tees, seve ral of them with the loss of boats, masts, or yards. On the following day the body of a well-dressed woman was taken up on the beach, with two gold rings on her fingers, having a 501. in her pocket, with 20s. and a one-pound note. Her name ap pears to be Mary Lockwood, of Scarborough, and the vessel in which she was lost, the Plymouth, of that port." In the garden of Mr. Richard Mason, of Strange ways, Lancashire, akraspberry-tree is at this time bent down by the ripe fruit which loads its boughs, being the second crop it has' furnished the owner this year. MURDER.—The following are the particulars of the horrid murder committed on the body of Sarah Styling, of Broadhurst, near Bridgewater, in Somer setshire On the morning of Wednesday, the l sth inst. the husband of the deceased went out, and did not return home until about ten 'o'clock e4t night, when he found all his doors and windows fast, and not re ceiving any answer to his knocks, he forced his way in—to his great grief he found his wife a corpse, murdered ! the back part of her skull being cut open. The horrid deed was supposed to have been perpetrated by a small hatchet, as one was found in a bloody state. The deceased's pockets were turned out, and the contents taken also, for the purpose of getting her keys, as the drawers were unlocked, two tOl notes, some cash, a watch, some small valu able articles stolen, some articles of plate, and a large quantity of wearing apparel; which it is suppos ed were taken away in a . corn bag. A, gun and horse were also discovered to have been stolen. A lad about IS years of age, a servant to Mr. Styling, who was left in the house when Mr. Styling left home, was suspeaed, as he was not in the house, nor was he to be found In the neighbourhood; and he has not since been heard of. He hired himself to Mr. Styling by the name of 'Thomas Gage ; but there is since, upon enquiries being made after him, every reason to believe his name is Tarr. He lived with Mr. Jeffries a butcher, of Dalverton, from whom it was suspeaed he stole a guinea, when he was a mere boy, and left his place when his master was gone. The last time he was seen was about seven o'clock on the evening the murder was com mitted, by a farmer crossing Gunnore Park, about a mile from Mr. Styling's house, on horseback, Sitting on a bag, which, it was imagined, contained the stolen property. He had a gun in his hand, supposed to be the one stolen from his master's house; and there is no doubt but it was loaded, as he had purchased some powder and shut a short time before.

Jame 3 Osborne, of Aldersgate-street, builder, de posed, that the prtsoners, on their entering into the. pit, at hall-priCe, commenced a riot, by *calling btit. 0. P., Standing bn the seats, dancing and•lteeping time with the ejaculation of 0. P. and that they forced their way to the fiont of the pit, driVing fore them several females, who were in the houSe when the curtain rose, and Who were driven out of .the pit"; that he, the witness, had been ascitiltect by them ; he gave them a caution to conduct them selves more orderly, or else they would be 1. - ikera into custody. This made them more violent, and they ra❑ up and down the seats, in the most outra, geous maihner, and sang ‘e God save the Knig," while two of the actresses, Miss Bolton and Miss Martyr, sang on the stage, which perfeetly drOwned their voices, and prevented Elie audience from hearing. His testimony was corroborated by Peter Cum mins, of Lancaster, and Mr: Bronden. 'dr. NARITA ca:leri on them for their defence.. The first s:ate.l, that his name was Showers, a Clerk belonging to the East India House; that he had stood on the benches beca . o.ic he could not otherwise see, as the petsoni betnre him w ere standing up ; and 'that he had Walked along the benches to find out a place where he could sit do,vn, and, at the same time., have a view of the sLge; he denied having mEde a noise, or having disturbed any person. The other defendant stated his name to be Richard Adams, and denied the entire of the charge against him, except that he had joined in the song of " God s:we the King." Mr. GISAHAYI observed, it was impossible that they, the Magistrates, could give much credit to that loyalty which went to injure a part of his Majesty'S subje6ls, and to prevent another part from enjoying rational amusement. Mr: NARES ordered the prisoners to had bail. Harriet Collins was brought from Sr, Clement's watch-house, and charged with felonio us ly s t ea li n g a 21. Bank of England note, the property of Eliza beth Tanner, of 115, Maid-lane. It'appeared that the Prosecutrix, is a Servant, an& had left her place late on Monday night. Yeverd4 morning, between twelve and one o'clock, a, sl;0 ova;, passing along the Strand, near Temple Bar, she met with the prisoner, and'finding it very 1 , 1(L:d her, if she could tell her where she could get a best ? The Prisoner took - her to the Rose; in SI,IO-vard, where she- paid two shillings for a bed. ,;gre. that the Pi . isomtr should 512,.i) irh her. The Pro secutrix, went to bed first, leaving her p L ui which were the 21—note and two . on chair. Before the Prisoner got into bed, she heard • her pocket rattle, and, looking up, saw the Prisoner with the pocket in her .hand, and saw her take the note out.. In consequence of which, she sat up in bed, and asked the Prisoner to give her the Docker, which she accordingly did. On examining th . e pocket, the Prosecutrix discovered that the 21. note wag gone. She charged the Prisoner-with taking it ; but she denied it, and offered to stand search. The landlady was called up, and she insisted on search ing the Prisoner and the room, but it could not be found. The Prosecutrix was positive she had it after she went into the room, as she took it out of her pocket, and the Prisoner saw it. The Prisoner was committed for trial. John Smith was charged with feloniously steal;ng an umbrella, the property of Henry Hillier, otn brella.maker, in the Haymarket. It appeared, that, On Monday evening, the Prisoner and several others were seen lurking about the shop-door of the Prose cutor, and i the Prisoner was observed to snatch an umbrella, which was hanging up, and run away with it. The Prosecutor pursued him, never lost sight of him, and he was secured. Tat Prisoner threw the umbrella away. He was committed for trial. John Blorharn teas cbargedon suspicio'n of ,steal- ing a calf,' the property of John Clark, a cow. keeper, of Kentish Town. The Prosecutor missed z calf from his grounds on Monday morning ; he traced it from (hence to Smithfield the same day; and from thence .to Whitechapel, in the possession of the Prisoner. He was committed for further ex amination. On the sth inst. at the Angel Inn, near the Old Bridge,•two French prisoners, Charles Boutelier and Louis Pretie, both remarkably well skilled in tho science of fencing, agreed, in the course of the after noon, to play with foils, which proved to have been badly capped. They were engaged in the sport about five minutes, when, on making a lunge, both of their feet unfortunately slipped, and the foil of Pretie went through the Orbit of his antaoonist's eye into the brain, carrying with it a small portion of the skull, and he died on the 16th, having remained in a state of stupor from the period of the accident. An inquest was taken on the 17th; and a verdict of Chance- Medley returned. A valuable seizure was made yesterday in Dover street, of contraband goods, consisting of silks and bandana handkerchiefs, by Mr. Sunnis, of the Custom-house; and Hamilton, a Police Officer of Marlborough-street Office.- The seizure was con veyed away in five hackney-coaches to the Custom house. At the . house where the seizure was made, it has been ascertained by a party concerned, that trade to the amount of some thousands per month has been carried on. It was not more than six Weeks since that a valuable seizure was made on that same premises. On Saturday afternoon as the Earl of Wincbel sea -was walking • home, In pas4ing Mr. Bailard's livery stables, in South -street, near his Lordship's house, a dog ran atter him, seized hiM by the hand, and bit him. His Lordship immediately went to Mr. Heaviside, who dire6ted that the part bitten should be instantly cut away. His Lordship acquiesced in this opinion, aild underwent the operation. The dog was seized, and taken to his Lordship's house, where it will be kept for a time, in order to ascer tain whether it is ath..6led by the hydrophobia, which, we are happy to hoar, ILe.ro is little re ar s to apprehend.
